Layout broken up

kazpad 30 Jul, 2009
I am setting up a website for a club and I am using the Beez template for that. I am only using menus with position "left" in Joomla.

Now, when I put together a Chronoforms form it breaks up apperaing in the followi[list]ng order:
- it just gives the title line,
-then where the menus appear on the left there is nothing.
The form carries on further down where the menus end.

If I also us a menu with position "right" in Joomla, the form appears okay.

So there must be some interference with the menus. Is my deduction right? And what can I do?

Hi kazpad,

There's a problem either with unclosed divs or with the css for class='cf_clear' divs.

Probably the first thing to try is to use the Transfor Form icon and try a different theme for yout form.

If that doesn't work you will need to use a CSS debugger to work otu exactly what is happening.

Hi GreyHead Transform Form did not help. I then used Firebug to see what is happening around the area where the big gap appears. Indeed the code goes like this:

<div class="form_item">
<div class="form_element cf_text">
</div>
<div class="cfclear"> </div>

You had mentioned that there could be a problem with "cf_clear". If I change "cfclear" into "cf_clear" for each item, then it moves up and closes the gap. Is that a problem with the template that they have misspelled "cf_clear"? As I have only seen this in the debugger, I don't know in which source I have to change the spelling.

I hope I have made the problem clear. Would you be able to give me another tip?

Thanks so far

Hi kazpad,

I typed 'cf_clear' from memory so probably got it wrong. But your experiment shows that you are in the right area.

You may beed to tweak the css for the template or for teh form until you have this corrected.

Which version of ChronoForms do you have installed? This was a fairly common bug a few months ago but I haven't seen it in the latest releases.
